- kowdermeister 9y agoI'd suggest telex, your downloaded content is automatically backed up on paper. :)
- tqkxzugoaupvwqr 9y agoI seriously think we need an alternative to HTML that axes styling and scripting and concentrates solely on the markup / content description. Websites would use a certain set of elements/descriptors to describe the content they contain. The user’s website reader would parse the markup / content description and display a page how it thinks it should be displayed (according to the user’s preferences). All websites would have the same styling – the one chosen by the user. This HTML alternative could provide an API that makes it possible to have dynamic websites but still prevents scripting and fingerprinting.

- ppeetteerr 9y agoI know this is a joke but you will still have tracking in the rss reader or in the images loaded along side the articles. The only solution is paying for software that does not track.
